“He's a special player. He can do things no other player can. I've actually had him come around on a reverse on me. My job is to contain him and it was a little frightening.”
“There are lots of reasons why I came here, ... It was an opportunity to win some games and play for Bill Belichick, one of the great defensive minds.”
“But it was my chance to leave my comfort zone in Seattle and grow as a player, ... I haven't been here very long, but it's already been an amazing experience.”
“It's a guessing game. You've prepared for some guys, then all of a sudden they release them. Then you have to prepare for some new guys. You have the unknown. Obviously, every team is going to have some new wrinkle. What is that wrinkle? ... You just have to be prepared to get to the sideline and adjust.”
“I don't think [Belichick] asked about my wife and kids. Not that he doesn't care. I think he is a nice, personable person. But I came in here to discuss a football job and we discussed football.”
“He has an incredible football mind. No matter what the play, no matter what the situation, he knows what every player on the field is doing. I can't say every NFL coach can do that.”
“There's no carryover, ... I'm playing a position that's basically new to me, a whole new style and terminology of defense, so trying to couple those two together, it's been tough.”
“Are expectations high? Yes. Did I know they would be high when I came here? Yes. Can I be perfect? I don't think any football player can be perfect. Will I aim to try to get better? Yes, I will.”
